A third stylist was also in the room during the fire and has been receiving care. Unfortunately there’s some sad news to report as the third stylist passed away on April 12th. These three stylists worked as freelancers, with ballad singer LYn, and hip hop group MIB.

An insider from the music industry informed Newsen on April 13th, “[the stylist] has been in the ICU this entire time and gained consciousness, and so we prayed that there would be a full recovery, but this is just so heartbreaking. The devastated families believe that the fire station did not take adequate measures to efficiently take care of the situation when it occurred, and we will handle this situation appropriately once everything is settled.”

Another entertainment insider could not believe the news. The insider informed Newsen on the 13th, “I had heard that [the stylist] had gained consciousness and would improve over time. This is so unfortunate.”

Meanwhile, MIB was scheduled to make a comeback the day of the incident, but has temporarily put all of their promotions on hold.

Once again, our hearts go out to the stylists, their families and friends, LYn, MIB, and all of the Jungle Entertainment staff members and artists.

John Park commented during the April 9th filming of the romantic reality music program, “I came not knowing who my partner would be, and I only found out when I arrived [on set].

After he and Park Jin Hee completed recording ‘Music and Lyrics’ for the day, John Park stated, “I got the feeling that she was a good, nice person. Park Jin Hee… is really deep. While working together, we found a lot of things in common so it was fun. I’m relieved I got to work with [someone like] her.”

This episode of ‘Music and Lyrics’ will broadcast on April 14th at 5:15PM KST on MBC.

A Hallyu museum is being established to help visitors experience everything about their favorite K-Pop stars and Hallyu actors/actresses.

The 85,400 sq ft museum will open in the second half of 2012 in the International Business Complex of the Incheon Airport. As the museum is near the airport, it will not only serve to spread Hallyu culture to travelers, but it will also make it easier for tourists to visit.

The museum will help contribute to economic development as it will continue to attract tourists and locals to see Hallyu in one look.”

Top stars Yubin of the Wonder Girls and actress Shin Se Kyung recently went head-to-head in a battle of dresses, flaunting their style in identical outfits.

Shin Se Kyung was seen in a white version of the one-piece during filming for popular SBS drama, ‘Fashion King‘. Many praised her natural makeup and hairstyle, which complete her elegant and chic look.

Yubin on the other hand, wore the black version of the dress in a much different style for an appearance at last month’s epitaph brand launching party. Her smokey makeup and straightened hair perfectly complemented the black outfit, emphasizing a sexy vibe fit for such an event.

Netizens who saw the pair commented, “It is a battle of the sexy stars~,” “They create such a different feel,” and “Shin Se Kyung in the daytime, Yubin at nighttime.”

Jinwoon visited the training center to show his support for the contestants when he came upon Lee Hyang Sook by chance, leading to a surprise meeting. Both born in 1991, the two had met during their school days in 2007.

The 2AM member revealed that they had quickly become friends because of mutual acquaintances and a shared love for music. Lee Hyang Sook praised Jinwoon for his naturally handsome looks and his talent for handling instruments as she remembered her days as a student who had just returned from studying abroad in New Zealand.

Jo Kwon, who accompanied Jinwoon on the trip, quickly began throwing jokes around once he found out about their relationship, teasing, “Did you two date in the past?”

Their surprise meeting can be seen on the upcoming episode of ‘Made in U’, broadcasting April 15th.

Jonghyun uploaded a photo of Shin Hyesung on his Twitter with the description, “What? The words I use! Sunbaenim, I respect you. Even your photo is sacred to me.”

Shin Hyesung, who is known as the King Se Jong (creator of the written Korean language) of K-pop, spurred on the popularity of abbreviated phrases like “kkapnol” or “surprised” and “simbaddul”, which means “my heart almost fell out”. Many young people, including Jonghyun, still use the phrases he created today.

The SHINee member continued, “My sister is a [Shinhwa fan]. Whenever she came back home, she would always have cards with words that ended in ‘pa’. I thought she was involved in a gang, which made me kkapnol shimbaddul.” It turns out the cards simply had names of Shinhwa members with “pa” at the end to indicate which member she was a fan of.

Jonghyun also addressed his respect and admiration for Shinhwa by stating, “Shinhwa sunbaenims are the best! I’m memorizing all the songs on Shinhwa’s 6th album!”
